Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1280 - 614: Assault on Yang Baoshan

"Boom!"

Across the immense snowscape, numerous sleds carved swift paths over the ground.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from ahead.

Beneath the snow, a burst of flame erupted, causing the snowpack to collapse with a rumbling sound.

The individuals on these sleds were caught completely unprepared, with many plummeting directly into the snow abyss.

However, the three figures leading the pack flashed, ascending into the air and holding their positions in the sky.

"Who dares to trespass!"

"Show yourselves!"

Among them, two figures aloft shouted with fierce anger.

One, possessing an elegant form and a face as cold as frost, pointed towards the void.

Instantly, a projectile in the shape of a cone shot out with tremendous force!

Woo——!

A piercing wail echoed, and the next moment, the cone-shaped weapon buried itself deep within the snow, continuing its trajectory beneath the surface.

From the depths of the snow, continuous screams and cries reverberated.

A significant amount of blood began to seep through the snow layers.

Another figure sneered, pressing both hands down forcefully against the ground.

In that instant, the earth trembled violently, and dozens of earthen spikes erupted from the surface.

A sickening squelching sound was heard as numerous bodies were impaled by the earth spikes, thrust out of the snow, and left dangling upon them.

Shu Zhangyue made a motion with her hand, and the cone-shaped flying sword returned to her grasp. Her sharp gaze swept across the surroundings, and after confirming with her Spiritual Power that no hidden ambushes remained, she declared.

"The threat has been neutralized."

Shi Lianhai scoffed, implying, "Mere larvae and insignificant curs, daring to lay an ambush for us?"

The usually silent Guan Maocai frowned, commenting, "We departed Yellow Earth Divine Origin a month and a half ago, traversing and shifting locations seven or eight times; the smaller hills are already claimed, and a suitable place for settlement remains elusive."

Shi Lianhai pondered for a moment before stating, "The smaller hills are hardly worth establishing a foothold in, their elevation is too low; as soon as spring begins and the temperatures climb, they will be submerged instantly. We require a location conducive to our long-term development."

"Are we truly relinquishing Yellow Earth Divine Origin?" Shu Zhangyue could not help but inquire.

"It is not a matter of relinquishing, but rather temporarily evading a superior force. Liang has already undergone gene recombination and can manifest creatures from his Genetic Map; he is too powerful. Among us, aside from Lianhai, who else can undergo gene recombination? Who could possibly withstand Liang, even partially?" Guan Maocai shook his head.

Shi Lianhai sighed, expressing, "I had envisioned that after achieving gene recombination and being able to evolve the [Mammoth Giant Elephant], I could swiftly unify Guangfu. Unexpectedly, Liang emerged."

"Even Yuan Shijie has reached the gene recombination level; we underestimated the world's current state."

It transpired that Shi Lianhai himself had also achieved middle-tier gene recombination within the Genetic Species.

His Genetic Map was the [Mammoth Giant Elephant], granting him the ability to transform into a colossal Mammoth Giant Elephant. This transformation endowed him with immense trampling power and also equipped him with an Earth Attribute Divine Power Talent.

This had always been his hidden trump card, a strategic advantage he intended to deploy against Dove Faction's Feng Jiangong in the future.

No one had anticipated that before even confronting Feng Jiangong, he would be compelled to face Liang Yuan and Yuan Shijie, both of whom were already capable of evolving creatures from their Genetic Maps.

Furthermore, it appeared their progress in gene recombination was considerably ahead of his own.

This was the primary impetus behind his decisive decision to abandon Yellow Earth Divine Origin and make his escape.

His former arrogance had vanished, replaced by a profound respect for the current state of the world.

They had fled from Guangfu, traversing numerous locales, from towering skyscrapers to gently sloping hills, and even a colossal ship frozen in the water.

However, none of these locations proved suitable for establishing a camp and pursuing covert development.

This expedition involved their senior members and a substantial quantity of resources.

They required a sanctuary akin to the Floating Island, a place where they could establish a long-term residence for stable progress.

Yet, such locations were exceptionally scarce.

The apocalyptic flood had submerged the land, leading to a significant rise in sea levels.

Even edifices that once reached for the sky now barely broke the water's surface.

"What sort of location are we seeking?" Shu Zhangyue could not refrain from asking.

Shi Lianhai remained quiet, while Guan Maocai elaborated, "At the very least, a place capable of self-sustenance must possess arable land for cultivation; otherwise, our development is impossible."

Undeniably, in the current global landscape, sustenance is always the paramount concern.

Without a stable food supply, they could not recruit new members, thus hindering any possibility of growth.

Were these esteemed masters, awakened within the Genetic Species, expected to concern themselves with sourcing food?

Shi Lianhai inquired, "Where are we situated at this present moment?"

Guan Maocai performed a calculation and replied, "We should be within the geographical boundaries of Ji'an City."

"Generally speaking, Ji'an City's terrain is elevated compared to Linjiang, situated upstream from it."

"What notable mountains are located within this region?" Shi Lianhai pressed.

Guan Maocai considered this for a moment, stating, "Ji’an City is renowned for its numerous mountains, surpassing Linjiang in that regard."

"The closest to our Linjiang would likely be the nearby Furong Valley."

"However, it wouldn't be astonishing if such a location has already been claimed."

Upon hearing this, Shi Lianhai scoffed, "Claimed? Then let's seize it!"

"Let's scout the area first; if Furong Valley is already established with existing forces, exercising caution is wise. We must avoid encountering another situation like Liang." Guan Maocai advised earnestly.

"Rest assured, I grasp the implications," Shi Lianhai affirmed with a nod.

Shu Zhangyue then departed to rescue members of the Earth Mother Sect who had unfortunately tumbled into a snow pit earlier.

Following a brief respite, they resumed their expedition towards Furong Valley.

...

In Baoshan City, specifically at Yang Baoshan, an assembly of over a thousand individuals had gathered at the mountain's base.

In the sky above, more than a hundred individuals capable of flight, wielding superpower abilities, were present.

At the vanguard of these airborne superpower users was a middle-aged man draped in a white cloak, his scalp slightly bald.

Though he appeared slender, his aura exuded a terrifying intensity.

He was positioned upon a throne meticulously crafted from solidified frost, encircled by numerous men and women who possessed the gift of flight.

With a gentle tap of his index finger, the man inquired, "Who among you is willing to descend and subdue Yang Baoshan for me?"

The superpower users surrounding him exchanged meaningful glances, and it was not long before several men promptly vocalized their allegiance: "The Iron Blood Mercenary Corps is eager to serve!"

"Your Majesty, the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps pledges to flatten Yang Baoshan for your command!"

"Your Majesty, the Red Star Mercenary Corps stands ready to brave any peril on your behalf!"

"Your Majesty, the Celestial King Mercenary Corps is prepared to fight until our last breath!"

These individuals standing before him possessed imposing presences, each identified as experts with primary attributes exceeding ninety points.

Were Liang Yuan present, he would undoubtedly recognize that the leader of the so-called Iron Blood Mercenary Corps was none other than Qiu Gongrong!

The other mercenary groups comprised the three major corps that had formerly been situated in Mist City.

However, their leadership had undergone a complete transformation long ago.

Previously, Li Kun of the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps, Huang Mingkai of the Red Star Mercenary Corps, and Li Jing of the Celestial King Mercenary Corps had all met their demise at the hands of Liang Yuan.

Now, their new commanders stood as remarkable figures in their own right.

Among them, the leader of the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps was a former trusted subordinate of Li Kun, identified as Fang Liang.

This individual was a user of transformation abilities, his superpower, "Cicada Transformation," granting him the capacity to morph into a summer cicada. This allowed for flight at lower altitudes with the development of cicada-like armor and blades, making him exceptionally formidable in combat.

The newly appointed leader of the Red Star Mercenary Corps was Hong Weiguo, who had previously been a member of the Ice Armor Warrior Mercenary Corps. Following Huang Mingkai's demise, Chang Yuntao had appointed him to assume command of the Red Star Mercenary Corps and incorporate Huang Mingkai's existing forces.

It could be confidently stated that the Red Star Mercenary Corps now functioned as a steadfast pillar of support for Chang Yuntao.

Lastly, the new leader of the Celestial King Mercenary Corps was Yang Zicong, an individual who was not initially an inhabitant of Mist City but had joined later, serving as a captain.

Chang Yuntao, having learned from the previous instance where Liang Yuan had been led by a captain's uprising, concluded that outright prohibiting outside captains from joining without affording them any prospects was an unviable strategy.

Consequently, he extended an acceptance to Yang Zicong, this capable captain.

This strategic decision indeed fostered a sense of hope among the captains, motivating them to earnestly seek integration into Mist City.

Nevertheless, when confronted with these eager volunteers, Chang Yuntao remained impassive, his gaze instead settling upon a taciturn woman with short hair.

"Yue Hua, do you harbor an unwillingness to serve me?"

The short-haired woman's countenance was exceptionally cold; she did not possess the typical beauty, emanating an aura of detached superiority that naturally kept others at a distance.

Upon perceiving Chang Yuntao's words, Leng Yuehua's expression shifted subtly. She lowered her head, clasping her fists together in a gesture of respect, and stated, "Your Majesty, my mercenary corps is comparatively weak, and I fear I might inadvertently impede your grand designs. However, I, along with every member of the Beauty Corps, are entirely willing to fight for your cause."

Hearing these words, a smile finally graced Chang Yuntao's visage.

He let out a chuckle, remarking, "Your corps is composed of beauties I have personally selected; how could I possibly dispatch them into battle, haha."

"Iron Blood, Sharp Sword, Red Star, and Celestial King—four major mercenary corps, heed my command!"

"Transmit my order: launch a full-scale assault on Yang Baoshan!"

"Yes (As ordered)!"

Qiu Gongrong, Fang Liang, Hong Weiguo, and Yang Zicong promptly accepted the directive. Their figures blurred as they swiftly led their respective forces, initiating a comprehensive offensive.

The clamor of battle intensified, deafening and all-encompassing, heralding the commencement of a monumental conflict.

On Yang Baoshan, dozens of figures rapidly ascended to intercept the incoming threat.

A myriad of formidable energy fluctuations erupted, creating a continuous, booming resonance.

The dense snow blanketing the mountain was violently shaken, fragmenting and exploding, thereby triggering a terrifying avalanche that cascaded downwards.

The overwhelming force was poised to engulf the many superpower users on Mist City’s side. Yet, from his seat upon the frigid throne, Chang Yuntao merely lowered his head and extended a single finger, pointing towards the ground below. Instantly, a colossal ice dragon materialized from thin air with a deafening roar, plummeting downwards.

With a thunderous cry, its form solidified at the mountain’s mid-level. The immense ice dragon swiftly constructed a formidable ice wall, effectively halting the avalanche in its tracks. Witnessing this, the members of the four major mercenary corps erupted in cheers.

However, amidst the jubilation, Qiu Gongrong of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps discreetly turned his gaze back towards Chang Yuntao, his pupils contracting. "He has grown stronger once more!"

Qiu Gongrong’s body moved with electrifying speed, a blur through the air. He soon made his charge into the Shelter within Yang Baoshan. Without warning, a young man burst forth, meeting him in a furious engagement. Qiu Gongrong opened his mouth, unleashing a ferocious roar that emanated mighty sound waves.

These sound waves carried devastating spiritual power fluctuations. Caught completely by surprise, the young man’s head felt as if it would split apart. Fortunately, his golden headpiece held firm, its ancient runes flaring to life.

Yet, before he could even recover his breath, Qiu Gongrong descended with a bone-crushing hammer strike. *Bang!* The youth, unable to utter even a single scream, was reduced to minced meat and shattered bones, meeting his demise right there.

Concurrently, elsewhere, the four major mercenary corps unleashed their divine might. The inhabitants of Yang Baoshan were swiftly overwhelmed, thrown into complete disarray!

Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed, and Jing’en witnessed a young man unleash a powerful punch. "Light Slash!"

*Whoosh—!* A terrifying beam of light coalesced into a formidable blade, instantly eviscerating a member of the Red Star Mercenary Corps. The blinding radiance compelled everyone present to shield their eyes. In that brief span, he annihilated three individuals consecutively, drawing the attention of Chang Yuntao in the heavens.

Chang Yuntao narrowed his eyes slightly, a flicker of intrigue crossing his features. "Who might this individual be?"

Leng Yuehua, positioned beside him, quickly provided a response. "Your Majesty, he should be Xu Haoyang, the leader of Yang Baoshan Shelter’s expedition team. It is said he once participated in the conflict for the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth."

"The Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth?" Leng Yuehua’s eyes immediately ignited with a sharp brilliance. "That particular island was ultimately claimed by someone known as Liang. Your Majesty, his territory continues its relentless expansion, and he was likely the one responsible for the recent disturbances, pilfering the Blood Crystals back then!"

Chang Yuntao’s eyes narrowed further, a chilling hint of murderous intent beginning to flicker within their depths.
